This is a 1974 Porsche 914 2.0L with less than 140,000 miles on the odometer (but only 17,000 since completion of an extensive and fully documented, three year restoration). The car is painted Porsche Lapis Blue Metallic with a black vinyl interior and is in perfect condition.
This is one heck of a car that has been completely refurbished, significantly upgraded, and meticulously maintained across the board; the photographs document the restoration. Look at the extent of the work done and the care that was taken when re-assembling this beautiful 914; nothing was overlooked or left to chance.
This vintage Porsche has undergone a multi-year restoration. The car was completely disassembled and placed on a rotisserie. The body was stripped to bare metal via media blasting with baking soda. The bare shell and all components were then sprayed with a zinc enriched etching primer. All metal work was old-school metal shaping - there is no bondo or filler in this body. Finish paint is a modern Porsche Lapis Blue Metallic, three color coats and three clear coats, wet sanded and buffed out. All rubber bits, grommets, seals, etc. are NOS OEM; exterior passenger side mirror added; fog lights upgraded to Pilot driving lights which are switched independently from headlights; new front and rear bumper pads. All suspension parts were also completely disassembed, sand blasted and then powder coated. All new suspension components - front and rear OEM Porsche anti-sway bars, Koni adjustable sport shocks, Eibach 100 lb. springs, turbo tie rods, Elephant Racing Control Arm Mounts, Elephant Racing Poly Bronze Bearings; all new OEM rubber seals, gaskets and grommets; all brake calipers rebuilt; 911 19mm master brake cylinder; pedal box rebuilt by Eric Shea; all wiring harnesses rebuilt and repaired by Jeff Bowlsby of San Jose, CA; new dash pad (OEM) and new German carpet set from Autos International; engine completely rebuilt and upgraded - block was hot tanked and all new galley plugs installed, crank was ground and brushed; rods rebuilt, new 96 mm high compression pistons and cylinders, Jake Raby cam; heads received Super Stock service from Al Hoffman in Atlanta, GA (new guides, seats, valves, HD springs, chromoly retainers, HD rocker studs, HD exhaust studs, ground keepers, etc.) Petronix igniter, new throttle position switch, re-calibrated Manifold Pressure Sensor by Geoff Bartelmes; new alternator, new voltage regulator, Chris Foley jet coated Evo headers into Quiet Can, Chris Foley metal fuel lines from tank to engine. New fuel pump within the last year.
I purchased this vehicle for approximately $20,000 and have since purchased a 911 Turbo and a 911 4s and do not have garage space for all three vehicles (my loss - your gain). The original owner had several parts manuals, and invoices pertaining to restoration work which are all available with the car.

Porsche Cayenne spied unconstrained by camouflage
Thu, 05 Jun 2014Meet the facelifted Porsche Cayenne. Our eagle-eyed spy shooters captured this example of Porsche's freshened SUV virtually devoid of camo, giving us our clearest look yet at what the eventual mid-cycle work will do to the strong-selling Cayenne.
The overall changes do, indeed, look minor, with a reprofiled intake being the most obvious item. The headlights are still covered, so we don't know what kind of jeweling has been done, but the shape does appear identical to the current model. Overall, the changes appear totally in line with a mid-cycle refresh.
As we explained previously, a plug-in Cayenne is on the way. It will join a crop of engines that is likely to be similar to what's on offer today, with naturally aspirated, turbocharged, hybrid and diesel variants released over time.
McLaren P1 vs Porsche 918 vs Ducati 1199 Superleggera in epic standing-mile drag race
Fri, 10 Oct 2014We live in a high-tech supercar renaissance, with the Porsche 918 Spyder, McLaren P1 and Ferrari LaFerrari all duking it out for performance supremacy. All three members of this power trio place the engine behind the driver and use some kind of hybrid assist. However, each one finds a slightly different way to make that setup work. While all of the tech is insanely cool, let's just admit that we are all really wondering which one is the quickest and which is the fastest. Autocar aims to find out in a new video pitting two of them against a surprise challenger in the standing mile.
Unfortunately, the race is missing the Ferrari, despite Autocar's best efforts. So instead, it has another limited-edition, high-performance vehicle from Italy in the form of the Ducati 1199 Superleggera. The bike has just two cylinders, but at 1.2-liters of displacement, it makes over 200 horsepower, and all that gumption is packaged into a magnesium monocoque body with carbon fiber bodywork to keep weight low. Granted, the cycle is going up against the 875-hp Porsche and 903-hp McLaren, but traction, aerodynamics and gearing all play a part in this fascinating video.
There's no sense in ruining the winner before watching, but Autocar teases that the finish is one of its closest drag races ever. Check out the video to find out just what that means.
eGarage video features Helmuth Bott's personal Porsche 959 prototype
Fri, 12 Apr 2013"We thought we were going to build a super-911," said Peter Schutz, former CEO of Porsche AG of the development of the Porsche 959. That was before it started getting expensive. At that point, Helmuth Bott, Porsche R&D director got frightened. Costs ballooned because of the all-wheel drive, sequential turbocharging and other technology Porsche had never even thought about when it set out to build a 911 to compete in Group B. Schutz continued, "The amount of resources we were committing got totally out of hand." Instead of pulling the plug, Bott doubled down and drew on the strength of his brilliant team to build a car whose impact is still echoing aross the industry.
"It's probably one of our most prized possessions" says Don Leatherwood, Director of the Brumos collection where Dr. Bott's personal prototype resides, and where Frazer Spowart went to see the car and create a video for eGarage. Check out the sights and sounds of the 959 before it was the 959, and get personal takes on the car from Hurley Haywood, Peter Schutz and Don Leatherwood. Keep reading to see the video.
